This is like what I imagine small family village life to be in the Cook Islands. Hard work to gather your meal but against the most amazing backdrop. This was also a breakthrough painting I did back in 03. I was learning but never giving up on it. It now hangs in my fathers home.

these are old digital sketches. I had these little ideas I wanted to make in to bigger oil paintings. This is a fast way to see if you can handle something that complicated. I did paint them in oils but the digital sketches were less of a head ache.
